“Broken Shell”
Published November 26th, 2009
Silverpoint Drawing
7.5×5.5″ green-gray prepared paper
Here’s another “interior” piece that I drew a while back. This shell is one of my favorite things, a beautiful natural sculpture. While drawing this I thought of the curving walls of the shell, stretching across the missing parts. Tones in a silverpoint drawing are made up of layers of lines. I’ve been doing silverpoint drawings since the mid-’80s and I’m still searching for lines that best express the thing before me - and I suppose that’s how it will continue to go.

Please email me if you are interested in this silverpoint for $175. (mat included) + $6. shipping.
